Additional Details

Like many of the other late 1800s buildings on this section of Lincoln, 2830 is listed with the intention that it will be demolished by a developer to make room for a new building.

While there have been no 311 requests for this building, patrons at the next door bar, Home Tavern, complained about the rats living in this building. Coincidentally, the bar was originally located in the building but moved next door decades ago.

Key Terms

The Chicago Historic Resources Survey is the city's effort to assess the importance of all pre-1940 buildings in the city. "Red" and "Orange" rated buildings are subject to a "demolition hold" of up to 90 days to explore alternatives to demolition. A building's "Status" is updated to "Released" when demolition of the building is allowed.

RED properties possess some architectural feature or historical association that made them potentially significant in the broader context of
the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois, or the United States of America. About 300 properties are categorized as "Red" in the CHRS.

ORANGE properties possess some architectural feature or historical association that made them potentially significant in the context of the
surrounding community. About 9,600 properties are categorized as "Orange" in the CHRS.

The Fast Track Abatement Program avoids the court process by allowing the city to repair or demolish buildings three stories or shorter that are "vacant, open, and constitute a hazard to the community."

About the series

Over the course of 2012 David Schalliol produced a photographic portrait of 100 of the hundreds of buildings threatened with demolition in the city of Chicago. Nearly all of the buildings have since been demolished. Visit the background information section for more information about the project, including definitions and links to other building resources.
